Re: [xsl] automatic creation of nested elements

You have to be clear on your problem. Best way is to give example of your
XML and xsl and your output and tell where in output you see the problem
Most people in the list are very generous and take extra pains in trying to
understand the problem and suggest a solution. All they are doing is trying
to help you. So, from your side, its always a good practice to really put
down the problem as clear as possible so that its easy for people to answer
( without guessing what your problem could be )

Subject: Re: [xsl] automatic creation of nested elements 
 
Dear all, 
 
I am facing two problems in the given stylesheet. 
 
1. <xsl:apply-templates/> is coming in both the elements resulting 
Duplication of the content. 
2. Multiple attributes are not getting created. Only single 
Attributing is getting created. 
 
Please guide me how to achieve the above two points. 
 
Regards, 
Ganesh

Try the below. ( I just carried it along the way of creating the 
children recursively from your target. Add your attributes etc as 
necessary ). Just changed from where you had a for-each. Dint check 
the other parts of your code. The below produces the result you 
wanted. 

<xsl:template match="map"> 
<xsl:if test="count(child::*) &gt; 3 and not(starts-with(source,'@'))"> 
<mac:template match="{source[1]}"> 
<xsl:variable name="nestedele" 
select="tokenize(target[1],'/')"/> 
<xsl:call-template name="buildtree"> 
<xsl:with-param name="position" select="1"/> 
</xsl:call-template> 
</mac:template> 
</xsl:if> 
</xsl:template> 
<xsl:template name="buildtree"> 
<xsl:param name="position"/> 
<xsl:variable name = "element" select="tokenize(target[1],'/')[$position]
/> 
<xsl:if test = "string($element)"> 
<mac:element name="{$element}"> 
<xsl:if test="not($position = 1) and exists(source[2])"> 
<mac:attribute name="{substring-after(target[$position],'@')}"> 
<mac:value-of select="{source[$position]}"/> 
</mac:attribute> 
</xsl:if> 
<xsl:call-template name="buildtree"> 
<xsl:with-param name="position" select="$position +1"/> 
</xsl:call-template> 
<mac:apply-templates/> 
</mac:element> 
</xsl:if> 
</xsl:template>

Input XML: 

<map> 
<source>bib-reference</source> 
<source>@id</source> 
<target>reference/citation</target> 
<target>@id</target> 
</map> 

Required output: 
<xsl:template match="bib-reference"> 
<xsl:element name="reference"> 
<xsl:element name="citation"> 
<xsl:attribute name="id"> 
<xsl:value-of select="@id"/> 
</xsl:attribute> 
<xsl:apply-templates/> 
</xsl:element> 
<xsl:element> 
</xsl:template> 

My XSLT: 
<xsl:template match="map"> 
<xsl:when test="count(child::*) &gt; 3 and not(starts-with(source,'@'))">

<mac:template match="{source[1]}"> 
<xsl:variable name="nestedele" 
select="tokenize(target[1],'/')"/> 
<xsl:for-each select="$nestedele"> 
<xsl:variable name="tem" select="."/> 
<mac:element name="{$tem}"> 
<xsl:for-each select="target"> 
<xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()"/> 
<xsl:if test="not(position()=1) and exists(../source[2])"> 
<mac:attribute name="{substring-after(.,'@')}"> 
<mac:value-of select="{../source[$pos]}"/> 
</mac:attribute> 
</xsl:if> 
</xsl:for-each> 
<mac:apply-templates/> 
</mac:element> 
</xsl:for-each> 
</mac:template> 
</xsl:when> 
</xsl:template> 

This will create one element after the other but it won't create the 
nested one. In a result for bib-reference, two elements will be 
created with same content. Which is a wrong one. Please guide me how 
to generate the nested element structure.
